Default Re: Desoldering tool

Hello Edward

Thanks for the quick reply. I will contact Farnell and let them know, as I spoke with them first this morning and they had no idea.

Best Regards Chris

Mine arrived with the motor unit hanging out of the bushes on one side - Clearly the transit screws should be fitted but no doubt the accountants have been at it ! Mine had also occasioned other damage (probably dropped) as the PCB had torn away from one of the flimsy mountings.
I'm awaiting a replacement, but first impressions are that this is very definitely made down to a price, so one cannot expect top quality.No doubt it will do the job, given its 'occasional use' status.
